Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
So far the experience is going great. The thoughts that I would have are not the ones that I am having which is brilliant. The opportunities that can be achieved are bound less. I am having the time of my life with this course and am truly thankful to asda.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The promgrame is very enjoyable. Things are easy to follow and the tutors and skill coaches are very helpful and will do anything to help with this. My fellow apprentices are great and I get on with all of them. With out the help from both academics and class mates you will not succeed
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I am currently developing my skills that I already had and constantly improving the skills that I did not no that I had. The new skills that I am learning are helping in my day to day. I like the contrast of the old and the new things leant so far
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I think that the programme is very well structured. The pace of the tasks and assignments are well thought out. The programme is very easy to follow but the thought needed to go into it is vast which helps expand your thoughts and harriozon in terms of academic gains and means
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
My employer could give me more support in store. The apprenticeship team are good at communicating news that I need but the store teams can do more for me in store with extra time for assignments and weekly tasks. I could do with extra support there as I am not given the time after I have moved departments
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The training provider is brilliant. Any question I have is answered in an timely manner. I feel that I can ask any question without feeling in the wrong. If I am off track then they point me in the correct direction. All the extra help that they offer is great.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I am putting into practice some parts at the moment but the information I am learning at the moment is mainly head office based and not shop based. As now we are going on we are now learning about more shop based stuff. This will help me in store from jow on
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are not many of these. This has declined since covid, but I can not see this improving in my store. My store could do more for extra curricular activties to help engage the colleagues into helping out more in the community. This will be beneficial for all parties with this
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend ASDA to a friend?
No
Why?
At the moment the company is not a great place to work. The company will hopefully return the the place it once was. This will be beneficial for staff and customers that will help asda get back to the top of the pops with in the supermarket chains in the uk
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to ASDA?
Please look at what you are getting into at the moment. If you are looking for short term then do not start working for asda at the moment. If you are looking for the long game then yes yes yes work for asda. They have helped me get towards my degree.
